Abstract

In this paper we describe an experience with the construction of educational itineraries based on Learning Objects (LOs). The experience was carried out with a group of 130 trainee teachers of secondary school using LODE, a collaboration environment associated with a repository of LOs, aiming to facilitate teachers' work with LOs and the exchange of pedagogical experience. From the discussion of this activity we derive some suggestions to improve the LODE environment and to increase teachers' opportunities to make the sharing of LOs an occasion of professional growth.
